Chapter 231 Temperature is Important

Yang Dongsheng was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Liu Xingbang, the guy with feelings knew what he just said.

So why is he still saying those things?
Suddenly Yang Dongsheng remembered something. The Liu brothers invested in a coking plant, but they couldn't even buy Boss Zhang's steel plant. How could they have the money to buy coal mines?
Liu Xingbang's purpose from the beginning today was to disrupt the situation.

Yang Dongsheng was momentarily dazzled by everyone's enthusiasm for the two main coking coal mines, and made a foolish move.

Yang Dongsheng had to re-evaluate, hoping that the work he had done before was not in vain.

When they got home, the two had been waiting for Yang Dongsheng at home for a long time.

"Jiang Ke has been waiting for a long time!"

In addition to Section Chief Jiang, there was also a 50-year-old man with an honest face who came with him. According to Section Chief Jiang, this person was the old craftsman in charge of brewing wine.

"Mr. Yang really intends to separate the winery and mooncake factory?" Section Chief Jiang said straight to the point.

"Of course! Liquor and moon cakes have nothing to do with coal, and they shouldn't be together. Now that even state-owned enterprises have begun to separate kindergartens and hospitals, our private enterprises should not be so rigid!" Yang Dongsheng took a sip of tea, "More The important thing is that with the development of our country, the winery will definitely have great potential in the future! As long as it is done well, it will definitely become an important industry of the company in the future!"

After Yang Dongsheng finished speaking, he looked at Section Chief Jiang and the old master.

Unexpectedly, the two were not happy because Yang Dongsheng promised to develop the winery into an important industry of the company, but a trace of sadness appeared on their faces.

"Is there anything I didn't mention?" Yang Dongsheng asked.

"Ahem!" Section Chief Jiang coughed softly, "Mr. Yang, the water problem is solved now, but water is only one aspect. Winemaking also needs wheat and sorghum. Wheat is used to make koji, and sorghum is the main source of our winemaking. raw material."

"This is no problem! Don't you know? Last year I planted tens of thousands of acres of land, and this year it may double again!"

"It is best not to use any pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Chemical fertilizers will affect the taste of sorghum, and pesticides will affect the quality of wine after entering the liquor!"

"I never spread chemical fertilizers on my crops, let alone pesticides!"

Section Chief Jiang and the old master looked at each other, is there such a farmer?In the past, they went to great lengths to collect qualified sorghum and wheat.

Yang Dongsheng took the opportunity to suggest, "I think if you have a chance, you can go to Maotai Town and learn how they make wine!"

Isn't it water quality and soil composition?
Believe it or not, I can't tune it out!
Let your stock price be so expensive!
"Mr. Yang, Moutai is sauce-flavored, while ours is Luzhou-flavored! The types are different, and the brewing process is also different!"

"Why do we make strong-flavored flavors instead of sauce-flavored flavors?"

"In fact, we have tried to make a sauce-flavored type before! But the strong-flavored type is a medium-temperature Daqu, and 1 catties of sorghum can produce about 3 taels of wine, and the production cycle is 90 days. The sauce-flavored type is a high-temperature Daqu, and the same 1 catties of sorghum can only be produced About 2 taels, the brewing process takes about a year. The production cost is too high, and the time is too late!"

"One year is not very long, and the difference between 2 taels and 3 taels is not too big!" Yang Dongsheng said in his heart that as long as Moutai can be made, the difference is nothing.

"Mr. Yang, the most suitable temperature for yeast activity is 25 to 35 degrees. If the temperature is too low, the fermentation will be slow, and if the temperature is too high, the yeast will die. The ideal storage temperature is 15 to 20 degrees. If the temperature is too high, the alcohol will evaporate and lose its flavor; It is too low, and it is not conducive to ripening. During the storage process, constant humidity is required, and the relative humidity should be around 70%. The most famous wineries in our country are all in Guizhou and Sichuan. Step on the koji, feed the sand under the Double Ninth Festival, and the temperature is right! After our Guazhou sorghum is harvested, it is not far from winter, and the temperature and humidity are not suitable. In the past, the mine provided free coal for 90 days. If the factory is independent, if coal is purchased for heating, the cost will be high.”

It turned out that after independence, there would be no free coal to use.

"The winery and mooncake factory have become independent, so they really shouldn't use the coal from the mine for free. In the future, the coal will have to be charged at the market price!"

Section Chief Jiang and the old master were anxious when they heard this, "Boss Yang..."

"However, in the future, if you want wine and mooncakes in the mine, you should pay the market price! And don't worry, even though I let the winery and mooncake factory be independent, it is impossible to be completely self-financed!"

Section Chief Jiang and the old master felt relieved.

Yang Dongsheng continued, "Actually, I had an idea before. Since the surface temperature is not suitable, why not move the winery underground? We now have many empty tunnels underground, where the temperature is constant throughout the year, and The temperature is not the same in different regions. Don’t they step on the song on the Dragon Boat Festival and feed in the sand on the Double Ninth Festival? We can feed and produce all year round!”

"But the winery workers have never gone down the well, I'm afraid they won't get used to it!" Section Chief Jiang said hastily.

"Going down the well is once familiar twice! In this way, the winery on the ground will continue to be reserved. Those who are willing to go down the well will be subsidized by 2 yuan for each shift!"

"The coal dust in the mine will not enter the raw materials and affect the quality, right?"

"Our coal mine is produced at night, and the concentration of coal dust and gas is high. During maintenance during the day, the concentration of coal dust and gas is low. At that time, if we add a water curtain, the coal dust will at least not be higher than that of the ground winery!"

Seeing that Yang Dongsheng was determined to move the winery underground, Section Chief Jiang had nothing to say.

Seeing this, Yang Dongsheng persuaded, "Don't worry too much. We are a low-gas mine, and there has never been a gas explosion. The alley is equivalent to an underground tunnel, which is very safe."

"Mr. Yang, do you still have the wheat and sorghum you planted last year? Can I have a look?" The old master who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke.

"Of course!"

Yang Dongsheng asked Zhou Ying to find some leftover wheat and sorghum.

The old master grabbed a handful, looked at it under the sun, and then picked up a few grains to taste, "It's so good, I haven't seen such a good sorghum for many years!"

"I heard that Moutai uses a kind of sorghum called Hongyingzi. How about I grow some next year? If the weather is not suitable, we can also go to Guizhou Province to buy it!"

"No, no!" The master quickly waved his hand, "The glutinous sorghum in the south has good water absorption rate, high gelatinization rate, suitable viscosity, and the brewed wine is also fragrant. It is really suitable for wine making. But our local japonica sorghum has a high yield It is taller and fermented more fully, which also has its own advantages. Moreover, we have used the local sorghum in Guazhou as raw material for many years, and we have been exploring the brewing method, and we suddenly changed to a sorghum, and we don’t know how to operate it.”

Yang Dongsheng said in his heart that there is another reason, "Then I won't command blindly. I expect that all kinds of certificates will be issued after the next year. You must be prepared!"
